McSweeney and Master M. Alley. BOWLING.

Valentine beat Messrs H. Bi ash and A. Duncan, the game being anybody’s until the last head. Last year’s winner of the Rooster, Mr H. Brash, is not to be allowed to rest on his laurels, no fewer, than seven challengers for the coveted trophy being handed in on Saturday. TENNIS. Although the tennis courts are now in first class ordei- there has been lit.le play.
